Right now it is Italian's turn. Because of the quote below. Having said that, it is still Very Possible that some other languages will re-appear in this log, too, even within a 24 hours timeframe.

SGP wrote:By the way, I spoke to an Italian these days. In person (i.e. not through a voice call). Then I told him, "I speak Spanish, but not Italian. How long do you think it will take to be able to speak Italian, too?". He said, "three months maybe". So I am aiming for, e.g., two and a half. Sort of challenge, but without any actual Time Pressure Deadline.("Speak" as in: verbally communicating. Not as in "being able to understand it and to use it for writing".)

derivato: derived. (Not even "bothering" to look it up . It is clear enough because of the following combination: Context, Latin origin and similarity to English.)

ampiamente: widely, largely.Similar phrase: in gran parte.

Diffuso: widespread (--> diffused)

nel: the proposition "in" combined with the "il" article.So that one is special. It is one of these neat Italian Shortcut Words. They also have got their Spanish counterpart. ES del simply means "de el".

Do they also exist in French?

A (maybe one time only) reminder: As I already mentioned a short time ago, I would either quote complete texts, or parts of them only. So the following paragraph didn't directly follow the previous one, but there is something in between that I didn't cite at all. However, anything written between these neat Double Quotes doesn't contain any omission, unless indicated by [...] .

@Romanian learners and speakers: Would you compare the Romanian silent letters to the, e.g., French ones? Or is it even easier? #Mindset #LearningAttitude

jocuri: this is about playing. One of these: game/games/to play.(This entry is an example of something I intentionally didn't look up, even if it would take a few seconds only. #CombiningSeveralLearningStrategies)

lansată: launced. A similar word is found in ES, too.

produsă: produced. In this sentence, it is followed by "de". I.e. "produced of Nintendo".

cunoscută: known. Reminds me of FR.

sub numele de: "under (the) name of".

s-a: Not understanding it doesn't prevent from still grasping the gist.Looks like one of these Common Phrase Abbreviations that are also found in French.

One-time note about any Japanese Lyrics Citations:I would always mention their source, then quote them just as I would quote anything else.But not guaranteeing for the full accuracy of any of the following:

- Hiragana Katakana Kanji Original Text

- Romaji transcription (although mistakes are easier to spot for me, and if I do spot one, I would indicate it)

- Any English translation included in the citation's source

My own work would be to highlight some words and write notes. Just like I did in the previous posts (IT, RO).

deshoo, desho でしょう · でしょ : I think, don't you agree?, ...Also used for Japanese politeness.

I would have liked this post to be a bit longer (covering two or three lyrics paragraphs instead of one). However, because some other languages are still ("even") easier for me than JP, taking a break feels like a way of progressing more, rather than less. As they say, "less is more" sometimes.

Still writing some notes. But the main focus is on color-coding right now. Writing lesser notes for the purpose of being able to write more of them in the future. The first person solving this riddle wins a Virtual Prize! Disambiguation : I really do mean it.

Blue: words that were understood without looking them up. Because of being close to English, or already known.Green: the same, but it took me longer to realize that they are "close enuff to English", too.

wah: what; there possibly are some other meanings. "A wah" is a Very Common Patois Phrase.

Not colorizing anything in the following quote (otherwise most of it would be blue anyway). Simply telling you about an observation that just has been made. After learning some more Genuine Pure Patois words, understanding the rest can be even easier.
